Chapter 68: If He Was Stolen, He Would Not Be Worthy of Being a Trump Card…
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After launching the Storm Operation, all the police stations in the city of Haicheng went on high alert. In the afternoon, after leaving the Jiangcheng Station in the morning, operations began to tighten, and Lao Mai started assigning tasks.
Regardless of the circumstances, they had already garnered significant attention before this major operation. During the operation, they couldn’t afford to let this attention be stolen by anyone else!
“This time, we’ve set a good precedent. In the next month, I want all of you to be at the top of your game!”
“Whether we can avoid being at the bottom for this quarter and year-end evaluations depends on this operation!”
“Especially when it comes to apprehending thieves and pickpockets, I want you all to be vigilant…”
Once a major operation began, there was no halfway point; each station had been assigned specific areas, and if any of those areas had issues, the entire police station would be held accountable!
Lao Mai had finally gained recognition at the city level, and he didn’t want to face disciplinary action over this matter. The station’s officers felt the same way.
Who knew that during these past few days when they were out on duty, they might inadvertently encounter officers from other stations? They would stand tall and proud, not wanting to be ridiculed by officers from other stations. They were determined to complete their tasks, even if it meant sacrificing their holidays.
Not to mention, this operation directly affected their time off…
Working overtime again, and their spouses would likely divorce them!
That was a jest, but if they spotted a thief or a pickpocket, they wouldn’t wait for Lao Mai’s orders they would rush in and apprehend them!
On the other hand, Su Xuan was directly loaned to the Anti-Pickpocket Team. Moreover, he wasn’t working in the county but had gone directly to the city, and during the operation, he even slept in the Anti-Pickpocket Team’s dormitories at night…
Su Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.
It’s a good thing he wasn’t married!
After venting his frustration, Su Xuan followed Captain Liao into the high-speed railway station.
Indeed, today was the first day of the operation, and Captain Liao did appreciate Su Xuan’s skills. However, at the beginning, he needed to test Su Xuan’s abilities.
In places like high-speed railway stations and airports, it was not as simple as Su Xuan’s previous work at the county station. Both of these locations were crucial transportation hubs, teeming with countless criminals, and rampant thieves and pickpockets.
“Su Xuan, several officers from other stations will join our Anti-Pickpocket Team members for this operation.”
“As for you, stick with me for this month.”
“Right, we’ll have two people watching over each area, which is a bit easier than before.”
“However, the workload ahead will be heavier than when you were at the station, and it might be tough. Be mentally prepared…”
“And one more thing…”
When Captain Liao reached this point, his gaze swept over Su Xuan, and he teased, “Today, you came in a hurry and forgot to secure your phone properly. Be careful later, don’t let anyone pickpocket you…”
After all, the members of their Anti-Pickpocket Team had encountered this kind of thing before! Which team member hadn’t been pickpocketed before?
“Yes, Captain Liao, I understand.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t get pickpocketed.”
Su Xuan calmly replied.
After all, he had a sense of criminal radar in him. As long as criminals passed by him, he could detect them. It was wishful thinking for someone to try and pickpocket him.
Looking at Su Xuan, Captain Liao knew that his advice had likely fallen on deaf ears. He wanted to say more, but considering that Su Xuan was a young man with high self-esteem, he probably wouldn’t listen anyway. Well, they might have to learn their lesson the hard way.
Captain Liao looked at Su Xuan’s youthful face and smiled.
You see, even their Anti-Pickpocket Team members, when carrying out their tasks, only had handcuffs, their police badges, and at most, a walkie-talkie with them! After all, the pickpockets working in these crucial transportation hubs were seasoned professionals. Even the members of the Anti-Pickpocket Team might not be able to identify them. There were always instances where a team member, with one careless move, would brush past a criminal and have something stolen in an instant.
There was once a team member whose walkie-talkie was pickpocketed. Just as he was nervously searching for it, he brushed past a man wearing a duckbill cap. Shortly afterward, he found the walkie-talkie back on his own person. That team member had been determined to catch the “walkie-talkie thief” ever since, but so far, there had been no results…
Thinking of this, Captain Liao cast a deep glance at Su Xuan. The fact that he had personally requested Su Xuan’s temporary transfer meant that he had high hopes for him!
It could be said that in Captain Liao’s heart, Su Xuan had already become a trump card. If Su Xuan managed to keep his personal belongings safe at the high-speed railway station this time, Captain Liao would know his judgment was correct. But if they got stolen… well, then Su Xuan wouldn’t be worth all this trouble.
Soon, Captain Liao started patrolling the high-speed railway station with Su Xuan.
Both of them were in plainclothes, appearing no different from the pedestrians around them.
The high-speed railway station was divided into several zones. The upper level housed the ticketing area, and if you wanted to take a high-speed train or a regular train, you had to go up. Going down led to the subway station, which connected to various parts of the city…
Even though Su Xuan was with Captain Liao, they didn’t stick together during their operation. In Captain Liao’s opinion, Su Xuan was more seasoned than the other newcomers who needed constant supervision. After all, he was a man who had once apprehended thirty criminals single-handedly. He had faith in Su Xuan!
As a result, Su Xuan and Captain Liao split up. The high-speed railway station was vast, too large for the two of them to cover entirely.
Su Xuan wasn’t greedy, though. He didn’t head straight for the high-speed rail area but descended to the subway station.
In fact, compared to the upper levels, this subway station was also an area watched by pickpockets—there were simply more people here! Many individuals, whether they wanted to leave the city or had just arrived, opted for the subway to depart. While there were buses and public transportation options, the subway station below was the main access point to various parts of the city, making it the preferred choice for most.
This presented opportunities for criminals.
Su Xuan contemplated for a moment and then headed to the subway waiting area. This was a station with the most subway lines, connecting the entire city and serving as a major transit point during their operation.
Su Xuan activated his Sin Radar, which had a search radius of only fifty-five meters. In this sprawling subway station, the range was somewhat limited. However, Su Xuan could move around, compensating for this limitation.
It was time for the high-speed train to arrive, and Su Xuan had just settled into position when a crowd of people rushed down from the escalators. Most of them were travelers carrying luggage of various sizes.
The foot traffic was immense, a sign that there were many criminals in the area. But in an instant, Su Xuan heard a series of chimes in his ears, and before him, a sea of red and green criminal values surrounded him.
